Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry (1974)

This movie is based on a 1963 novel called 'The Chase' so that should give you a pretty good idea of what its about, It's a kind of Bonnie (Susan George) and Clyde (Peter Fonda) and Clyde (Adam Roarke) story, only the last Clyde for some reason don't warrant inclusion in the title. Enjoyable in a Smokey and the Bandit type way, the film is apparently a particular favorite of writer/director Quentin Tarantino who makes direct reference to it in his film Death Proof. Certainly better then average Grind-house fair, to me it was sufficiently entertaining but not exceptional. **1/2
